It's been a pretty wild week on Twitter. Whenever a momentous event happens, it's as though the already spastic site goes into beast mode. By that we mean that it seems everyone has an opinion or a joke (or maybe seven) regarding the matter, and they're frothing at the mouth to share them. This was definitely the case following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, which happened as the Don’t Worry Darling drama and discourse was ramping up. Fortunately for us, there are people tweeting material tha…

"Why can't we all just get along?" This question is usually reserved for situations that really aren't that simple. For example, feuding countries, frenemies, siblings, and other divided parties who definitely won't just shake on it and change their squabbly ways. Most recently, I've wondered why Lord of the Rings devotees can't just stop warring or at least why they don't leave one another alone. Ever since The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power was announced, open-minded fans excited for m…

The Emmy Awards always seem to come out of the blue. They aren't situated during the tried and true Awards Season TM , making them way less of a hassle to watch. It's also a lot more likely that you've seen one of the Emmy nominated shows versus the prestige Oscar-Bait dramas that get spit out for us to chew up every December. This years Emmy Awards had some really nice moments. Sheryl Lee Ralph gave an incredibly moving speech after winning Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy. Goodburger stars…

It seems like everyone and their mom, and their grandpa, and their cousin, is getting into birdwatching . “Birding” if you're nasty. The hobby is pretty much as wholesome as they come. It incorporates all of our favorite things: animals, the great outdoors, competition, and sometimes even socializing. It's also one of the most accessible activities a person can get into. Even in the craziest, busiest, and steeliest metropolises, there are birds to be seen in parks and even nesting on towering s…

Why set several alarms when you can just hit snooze every 5 minutes for three extra hours?

Embrace your inner basic!

It's all about the rush

Detectives have been mainstays in media for what seems like forever. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle may come to mind when we think about the creator of modern detective novels and tales, but it was actually Edgar Allen Poe who spearheaded the genre when he wrote “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.” The book introduced the character C. Auguste Dupin, who (using his powers of observation and analysis) assists the police in solving a murder. The solving of a mystery in this way definitely influenced Conan Doy…

Some people are so bored

This isn't Dr. Seuss

It doesn't seem that people have much reason to get angry

Yesterday, the long-awaited first Sunday of the football season commenced. To that I say, thank God, because summer sports don't hit the same. You've got baseball every day, which isn't as easy to get invested in. You don't have that one special day a week where your team plays: every day could be a great day in baseball, but you don't have the psychic powers to know which day that will be. In football, you have your weekly special day to watch the big game. No matter what happens, you know The…

Queen Elizabeth II lived a long life. There's no denying that a ninety-six-year existence is impressive. A lot can be accomplished and experienced in that amount of time: marriage , parenthood, wars, imperialism, etc. But a ninety-six-year life also leads to a different sort of prolificness - the ability to be trending on Twitter for a week straight. Mentions of the deceased matriarch have been going strong since the news of her demise, and while not all of the memes, jokes, and tweets are tast…

Like the prophecy foretold
